"Sobi and his team did the wood framing/crown molding of our new Andersen windows in our living room and dining room. They were very professional, skillful, and really pleasant to work with! Sobiâ s attention to detail is so impressive and reassuring. He was great at explaining everything he planned to do. The communication with him from the start until the end was amazing! The job was done quickly (even through the holidays!) and he made me feel like my job was the only one he was working on when in fact, it was his smallest one. I am so happy with how the framing of my windows look! I will be using them again for sure for future projects!!"

"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

Finish carpentry involves working both on the inside and the outside of the house, and it can include cabinets, installing wood siding, hanging doors and putting in such items as wainscoting, bookcases and mantelpieces. Proficiency requires years of practice with a wide range of woodworking tools. The field of finish carpentry involves so many skilled tasks, such as cabinetmaking, that certain areas of home-building may be handled by just one person or even a small crew. Building cabinets is one of the more complex tasks, where at least the original work needs to be done in a woodworking shop. Once the cabinets are made, the finish carpenter will have the task of installing these items at the site. Landon Turner, owner of Turner Finish Carpentry. Residing in Pleasanton most of his life, Landon has been doing remodeling and finish carpentry for the last 10 yrs in the tri valley / bay area. With a wide range of experience and referrals he has started his own Finish Carpentry business.

"Dry rot repairs - had 3 estimates before Casablanca Construction. Sebastian was personable yet very professional and HONEST. We (older and knows nothing about repairs) need people like him. Pointed out possible future damages (no pressure). Have very polite, hard working crew especially Martin. Good quality of work for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them."

"We had been looking for months now on who we should hire to build our custom dream home out in the countryside but had no luck until a friend suggested his contractor called Bayside Builders. We hired them and they came out to start giving us some ideas on what we want done with our home. It was clear that this company has been doing this for quite some time because they were professional and knew how to get things done correctly. We're glad that things went according to plan because it feels great knowing that you can trust your contractor and that they know what they are doing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
